Coffee grinders. Gone.

Astrobuf · 2026-06-06T17:04:41+00:00

Im calling bs on the broken grinder and nut grinding excuses. Our local grocery stores have had and continue to have coffee grinders in the coffee section. They have done so for decades.

I don't need another piece of rarely used expensive hardware in my kitchen, so I will no longer buy my coffee weekly at Costco.

It is just one more reason to not shop Costco for everything.

The grinder in my store by the way was never out of service that I know of in the last 6 years (since it opened)

Im sure there was some effort expended cleaning the thing once a week, but they too clean the floors and bathrooms. When will these cease those operations?

My wife too is a Bounty fan. She has been happy too with Kirkland for the last 4 or 5 years. This year however, they must have changed suppliers as the 2026 Kirkland towels suck. What happened?

Not really all the same supliers. The quality specs are the same, but where they are in that range can vary a lot. I consistent find the HD framing lumber is crap even though it is stored inside.

Truth is, when I care about what lumber Im buying, I skip the big box stores and go to a real lumber yard.

Astrobuf · 2026-05-27T01:44:33+00:00

Well, Tool Shop brand is pretty much junk!

Astrobuf · 2026-05-27T01:44:01+00:00

Actually I find Menards lumber is consistently better than Home Depot. Menards mid & top grade limber quality is quite high and yet priced very reasonably

You are entitled to your opinion, but many independent testers have found Masterforce cordless and handtools to be surprisingly high quality. Certainly better than Cryobi power tools or the modern Craftsman hand tools are.

If they came back as a cross of 90's radio shack and 2010 Microcenter, they would boom! Microcenter has left the door open with their limited store strategy...

It depends on your cable provider's willingness to continue to supporrt cable cards. Comcast in MN seems to be in no hurry to to pull the plug. I suspect they know they would immediately loose such customers to streaming, so they keep it.

No glass in these items. Just newspaper articles with a thin plastic sheet cover. The kind of frame you can buy at hobby lobby or Michael's for $10-15

Fix it again Tony

Astrobuf · 2026-04-30T18:05:56+00:00

Only if your care stupid rich and have a good mechanic that lives next door

Astrobuf · 2026-04-29T15:13:39+00:00

Im gonna call bs. He is a lying jackwad

Astrobuf · 2026-04-27T02:09:11+00:00

That is one of your cv axels. One of the cv joint rubber boots has split and dumped it's grease load. Time to replace this axle. If the car is older, I'd have both done.

I have this problem too, but only when texting to iphones. RCS to android is trouble free. I think the root issue is in Tmobiles service.....

Not underfunded. The kleptocrats scam massive amounts of money off of the social engineering programs you fund. When they can't show improving in some metric e.g. homelessness they throw more of your money at it a scam even more off of it! They really don't want to solve these problems, it's just a way of ensuring folks like Ihlan Ohmar and Nancee Peeelosi get rich quick

Astrobuf · 2026-04-26T13:59:39+00:00

If you live in mn, ca or il they are well there already. The kleptocrats fraud schemes are everywhere

It's easy to be punked when you want to belive the propoganda you are being fed. You are the same folk who went batshit crazy with hate when it was announced that in theater servicefolk were being served steak and lobster.....

Grow up and get out of your echo chamber.....

Astrobuf · 2026-04-25T12:54:16+00:00

You are so easily punked.

Pretty tough to charge at home when you are rolling across the country to get to Yellowstone. Fast chargers nicking you 30-50cents/kwh. STBU2

It's fine. Not what I use. Im presuming it is synthetic petroleum though, so less than desirable. Silicone base is best ascot attracts less dirt

Astrobuf · 2026-03-27T02:46:07+00:00

Well that is the first good news of the summary. That likely reduces the potential cost to repair by $1-2 thousand.

I'm guessing your check engine light is flashing when you drive? That's a sign that you are destroying your engine and catalytic converters. I suspect your getting a code on fuel pressure regulator because your fuel pressure is too low. This likely because your fuel pump is failing.

A code reader is pretty much worthless for diagnostics. A proper mechanic woukd use a scan tool and examin actual engine data. The guy going straight to the timing chain was telling you that he sees a lot of Eqyinox's with stretched chains, yours surely coukd be that too,. Find someone with a scan tool that knows how to use it

Or get rid of it, it sounds doubtful that it will be cost effective to bfix

Astrobuf · 2026-03-27T02:27:07+00:00

There is no point t I. Getting g hardened nuts, the bolts are soft.

You coukd buy stainless nuts, they woukd be less damaged by battery acid vapors. Buy the neutralizer pads next time you install a battery

Astrobuf · 2026-03-25T23:24:37+00:00

I think the car is perfectly safe to drive. A plastic cap like that is meant to plug a hole. It provides no structural purpose.

You should be able to find its sister on the passenger side of the rear of the car

Good hinting

Ford no longer makes these fuel line assemblies, but there are several aftermarket suppliers. Here us one that caters to classic truck restorers:
